Earlier this month, Nicole Curtis, the star of HGTV's Rehab Addict, announced to fans on Facebook that season eight of her renovation show is on the way. The television star wasn't sure if filming another season was going to possible due to an ongoing custody battle, according to She Knows.

For the past year, Nicole has been in the middle of a custody battle over her 16-month-old son, Harper Curtis-Maguire. When she announced the return of her show on Instagram this week, she explained in the post that she needed some time to attend to personal matters. "Don't call it a comeback," she wrote on Instagram. "I've just been taking my sweet time doing what needed to be done."

In addition to her family difficulties, the renovation expert also mentioned this past fall that it was up to HGTV and the DIY network to move forward with plans for the next season. "Please direct any questions to HGTV directly regarding scheduling," she wrote on her website. "Yes, believe it or not, your voice matters. You want Rehab Addict? Squeaky wheel always gets the oil."

The custody battle over her young son has taken an emotional and physical toll on her, she says. "It's bittersweet as this Christmas I had E[than]; however, my other mini-me was not with us," she wrote on Facebook. "The terror I feel knowing that this is our life right now, constant separation is real. My wonderful (sarcastic) ex-significant other commented that I looked haggard the other day—my response was what mother wouldn't after all this. It's unnatural to be separated from growing children."
